Why Spray Foam Is The Best Insulation For Unusual Spaces

Across America most homes have very different requirements when it comes to insulation. It is usually quite easy to install insulation into older, more traditional homes. More modern homes, with awkward angles and more unique designs, can be quite tricky. To combat this there have been a number of innovations in the insulation industry that have made it far easier to get into every little nook and cranny inside your home. If you are struggling to find a way to get insulation into the last little area of your house, here is why you should consider spray foam insulation.

Sticks To Most Surfaces

Spray foam insulation is different from traditional sheets of insulation in that you do not need to nail it in place or spend a lot of time setting it up. If you get the right spray foam insulation services, all they need to do is use their special equipment to blast the foam onto the surface using a pressurized hose. The foam then sticks to virtually any surface you will find in a modern construction and then, over time, harden into a material that will not move or drip off the space it was sprayed on. That makes it perfect for hard-to-reach areas that would be impossible to get to without the spray.

Very Good Insulation Properties

There are two main types of spray foam insulation: closed cell and open cell. Both have their own benefits, but if you want the one with maximum insulation properties it is hard to do better than closed cell spray foam.  It is often better than any traditional insulation on the market. Just because you need to get your insulation into a tight corner does not mean you should have to sacrifice on it's core ability to actually work well as insulation. If you aren't sure what type would work better in your home, just ask a spray foam service and they will be happy to walk you through the differences.

Durable

Even though it is easy to install on hard-to-reach surfaces spray foam insulation is still a very durable form of insulation that will last for decades before it needs to be repaired or replaced. While there is some variation between brands (and between open and closed cell spray foam), it is without a doubt still a very durable form of insulation that will not give in quickly. It can also handle its fair share of humidity and moisture in the air, which makes it an all-around great option not just for hard to get to spaces of your house, but in general as an alternative to fibreglass or cellulose.
